Namaste :D I do not smoke and would prefer not to be in a car with a smoker. I will most likely be bringing my 70 Gallon back packing bag and lunch bag, plus a tent; therefore I will need a bit more room than a small school backpack would need. I am open to contributing to gas costs OR snacks and food stops. Because I am working at Bhakti Fest, I need to be in Joshua Tree by Wednesday September 5 at 4PM. I look forward to our carpool! Thanks. God Bless.
